FROM THE PASTOR…
Dear Parishioners,
I want to call your attention to the annual Remembrance Ceremony that will be coming up here in early November
Each November, on a Sunday near the feast of All Souls, we have a reading, at the 11 am English and 12:30 Spanish Masses, of the names of those persons (about three dozen this time) buried through the services of St. Raphael’s parish during the past twelve months.
A Memorial Candle with the name of each deceased person is lit at that time.
Invitations have been sent to a family member of each of these deceased. We are fully aware that many relatives and friends live at a distance and cannot attend.
We take the occasion to reaffirm our bond with these departed brothers and sisters, as well as reaffirm our hope in eternal life and resurrection.
This year, the Remembrance Ceremony will take place on Sunday, November 5th. It is also Family Mass Sunday.
On a different note, I want to remind you that today we conclude our three-weekend CALLED BY NAME program to promote church vocations. Please do your part by returning the form with the name of at least one potential candidate to whom helpful information can be sent and an invitation perhaps issued to an appropriate event to hear more about the priesthood or religious life.
Our VINO NUEVO apostolate is preparing an alternative Halloween event featuring children dressing in their patron-saint costumes. It will be on Friday, Oct.27, 5:30 to 8:30 pm. More details are elsewhere in this bulletin. -Father Jerry Jecewiz
Second collection today…
Today we celebrate World Mission Sunday. Each year, the entire Church is in-vited to support the young mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay leaders serve the poorest of the poor. This year, we are invited to “Chat With The Pope” to learn more about his missions. Scan this year’s World Mission Sunday poster using Facebook Messenger for your mobile device, or learn more at ChatWithThePope.org

THOUGHT FOR MISSION SUNDAY
“The Church—I repeat once again—is not a relief organization, an enterprise nor an NGO (Non-Government Organization), but a commu-nity of people, animated by the Holy Spirit, who have lived and are living the wonder of the en-counter with Jesus Christ and want to share their experience of deep joy, the message of salva-tion that the Lord gave us.
It is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church in this path.”
— Pope Francis
